Here’s a google street view of the Jamaica Multiplex:

Peter, if you do a Google search of Sumner Redstone, you will certainly find more than you even need to know about him as one of the most powerful people in the entertainment business today. I’m truly surprised that you had to ask. His name is constantly in the news.
Warren, who is Sumner Redstone ?
Send an e-mail to Sumner Redstone!
That’s a good idea, Bway. Perhaps you should suggest it to the management.
I wonder why they don’t just call it Jamaica Center Multiplex Cinemas!
Agreed, Warren. The repetition of “Jamaica” seems redundant and unnecessary.
The building containing the mutliplex can be seen in the photo. If there weren’t signs outside, one would mistake it for just another shopping mall. At least when you see the relics of nearby Loew’s Valencia, the RKO Alden, and Skouras Merrick, you know that theatres once operated there…According to advertising in today’s newspapers, it’s called Jamaica Multiplex Cinemas @ Jamaica Center. What a mouthful!
Thanks, Lost Memory.
The Jamaica Multiplex Cinemas can be seen in this photo.
Click this link and send National Amusements an email with your complaint. They claim that they read every email. This would be a good way to find out.
This site is not connected with the management of the Jamaica Center multiplex. You should probably take it up with them, not here, as no one here has any connection to this theater whatsoever.
WHY IS THAT EVERYTIME I ARRIVE AT JAMAICA MUTIPLEX THE ESCALATOR IS INOPERABLE. IN THE PAST MONTH, I WENT TO JAMAICA MUTIPLEX ON THREE OCASSIONS EACH TIME THE ESCALATOR WAS INOPERABLE AND MY FAMILY AND I HAD TO WALK UP APPROXIMATELY 50 STAIRS TO SEE THE MOVIE. THE 1ST 2TIMES I WALKED UP THE STAIRS BUT, ON THE LAST OCASSION I DECIDED TO TAKE MY FAMILY ELSEWHERE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS WOULD HAPPEN IN ANY OTHER COMMUNITY BUT, BECAUSE THIS IS A PREDOMINATELY BLACK COMMUNITY THIS IS HAPPENING. I AM APPALLED AT THESE CONDITIONS AND HOPE THEY WILL BE RECTIFIED IN A TIMELY FASHION. UNTIL THEN I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO THIS THEATRE NOR MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
Lefty, you are right. NA used to really take care of their theaters, but like you said, now that they have begun to build the “delux” ones, those apparently are the ones they are focusing on, and forgetting the older ones.
I complained to National Amusement’s HQ telling them about my experiences at the Concession Stand with the workers, and with the doorman who if you ask where to go just nods his head. I never got a response back from them. It’s sad because the theatre is near to where I live. Due to these experiences I’ll be forced to travel to other theatres, unless I hear that they’ve changed. Which I doubt. National Amusements use to maintain their theatres now they’re only care about their “de lux” or “premium theatres” in which more than the theatre is found in the building.
Why don’t you send a collect telegram of complaint to Sumner Redstone, who owns most of the stock in the company that runs the theatre?
Maybe we should inform National Amusements, as well as each other.
That’s very sad to read, Lefty. I wonder what’s kept those concession workers from being fired and replaced by polite people, and, how that theater stays in business with such rude people working inside it. Thanks for the advice. Now I know enough to stay away !
The theatre is a bargain during the matinee. But afterwards don’t even bother. The staff does nothing to stop patrons from smoking, or drinking alcoholic beverages. The carpet needs cleaning, and the popcorn is cold and stale tasting. The staff at night is rude, especially the Concession Stand Workers. The Concession Stand Workers will not answer questions, will carry a conversation with coworkers instead of helping customers, and will literally throw your food and drinks at you and on top of that short change you. The matinee staff work as professionals the rest of the staff are rediculous.
To say the least, especially for those who sat on one !
sad
Those HIV-contaminated needles in cinema seats were an all-too-real threat not long ago !
Wow, not too munch said about movie houses on this page. Instead of praise for a new Multiplex Venue. Just a lot of rhetoric about nonsense.
No hypodermic needles in the seats, with little post-it notes on them, saying, “Congratulations ! You are now HIV positive !” ?
This theater is a good bargain. The matinee is $6.75. At times the escalator doesn’t work and there is only one elevator to the main floor. You have to walk up the stairs. Once there the multiplex is nothing to write home about. Just a big box. I noticed that they don’t do a good job of cleaning. There is pop corn spilling out of the machine, the stairs leading the main lobby needs a good shampooing. But once you sit down to watch the movie the seats are comfortable.
